    Talk to house plants just so I know how smart they are. I mean they could help make upkeep easy obviously, more water, not on the leaves etc. But what else. Philosopher houseplants! That would be so cool

    Lots of people in here think that house plants are going to be great conversationalists and not just talk about dirt and sunlight non stop.

    Finger glitter guns please.

    I already can talk to house plants. They never say anything back though. I would still choose it as my super power though because of be afraid of accidental emissions.

    Houseplants, easy. They’re my favorite interior decoration anyway, now they’re upgraded to little buddies I can chat up and bounce ideas off of? Yes please.

    Assuming that harmless means the glitter is biodegradable and actually causes no harm, I’d take the glitter.

    I’ve got a young kid and several young nieces and nephews. Most of them are either going through the sparkly princess stage, or their superhero phase. Being able to puff out glitter on demand would make their days :)

    Talking to house plants could be turned into a new life as a spy or PI (albeit a very niche one). I don’t imagine plants would be super talkative so it probably wouldn’t get too annoying. Glitter finger farting doesn’t have any uses I can think of besides pranks and crafts. So I’ll go plants.

    Lots of folks here don’t seem to realize that having the ability to talk to houseplants doesn’t necessarily mean they have the ability to talk to you. I can talk at a plant all I want, it doesn’t mean it’s going to say anything back

    Talk to houseplants. That would be a fascinating conversation, even if they don’t care about the same things as us. Does it work on non-house plants, too? Imagine the hot goss old trees would have…

    Talk to houseplants. I just hope it wouldn’t be a Dr. Dolittle situation where I hear ALL the plants ALL the time.

      Just houseplants whenever they speak. If that bothers you, you can torture them until they obey all you say

    I’ll take talking to house plants (it doesn’t specify that they have to be my plants). Keep the craft herpes away from me.
